[QUOTE="nikki, post: 49524, member: 18126"] Okay, I know this may sound a little stupid... but when I am at a new track and checking out the doubles, here is my method: I ride a 125, so I watch the 60's and 80's practice and listen to their bikes. If a 60 can make the jump (without sounding like they are going to blow up their motor) then I know I can do it a lot easier. I also watch what lines they take (through the corner before the jump and going off the face). Then I watch the 80's and really listen to their bikes. This gives me an idea of how much gas certain jumps need. So I pretty much go from there. Following behind someone else and judging their speed, scoping out their lines, and hearing their bike also helps. Last piece of advice - once you do a new double/triple/tabletop/etc. - do it over and over again. Just once isn't good enough. Do it 5-10 clean times in a row and it should become automatic. ------------------ '01 YZ 125 - #32N 2000 D17 Women's Motocross Champion Sponsors: DGY, MX-Tech, Bell, Smith, Works Connection, Boyesen, Twin Air, FMF, SoCal/DeCal Works, Morris Trailer Sales, and Skyway Trucking [/QUOTE]
